Dennis R. Olson

Dennis, I was honored to have known you. I truly enjoyed your company at SUBVETS meetings and the 2024 and 2025 Western Region conventions. I had a great deal of respect for you, and respect from me doesn't come easy. Fair winds as you cross the bar; I look forward to seeing you again.

Dennis, it is such a privilege for me to call you and Shannon my friends. Thank you for having blessed our community with your intellect, kindness, and sense of humor. Your bright light will continue to shine in the hearts of all those whose lives you touched. You lived a good life, now rest in peace, dear one.

My thoughts are with Shannon and her family. Dennis lived well and fought his disease hard and dignity. He has earned his rest. So Dennis, ring the bell!

Although I didn´t know him personally, I knew his boat and the fact that he was a submariner made him my brother. Fair winds and following seas....... My condolences to his family and friends.

Loved brother Dennis, my submarine brother. Praying for Shannon. God loves you lady. God bless your family!

I met Dennis through several reunions of the crew of USS Guitarro. We shared many stories of life on the boat, and life after the Navy. I'm so glad that he joined USSVI, where he was able to meet other brothers of the 'phin. Rest your oar, shipmate. We have the watch. Shannon, Linda and I are so sorry for your loss.

My sympathies to the family, Shannon in particular. Stay strong and remember.

Big smile and a handshake every time we met. I enjoyed the time and stories we shared while together at USSVI activities. May you rest in peace my friend.

Thinking of Shannon and family...I am so very sorry for your loss. May Dennis RIP.
